Working with employers is at the heart of everything we do. In addition to companies being closely involved throughout the curriculum and visits out to employers, we also expect students to undertake at least a week of work experience.

Why do our students undertake work experience?

To gain an insight into the world of work

To acquire employability skills

To develop self-awareness and confidence

To begin to understand the links between school subjects and the world of work

To start appreciating the skills needed to succeed in the labour market

Students can find work placements either by contacting the employer themselves and enquiring about opportunities (a self-placement form must be completed) or by being matched by the UTC to a placement from the database provided by the Sheffield City Council.

Our next open event is on Tuesday 26th June, at the event attendees will be able to find out about what is offered at UTC Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park. This event is suitable for those considering studying at post-16, but is also open to students who would like more information on our Y9 and Y10 offer. Find out more: http://bit.ly/2G5FWp9
